Behavioral Health Services
Our innovative, evidence-based Behavioral Health Services are delivered virtually, in office and in our partner schools. Services include assessment, diagnosis and developing plans for care that utilize evidence-based treatment approaches. Our Advanced Practice Registered Nurse is available to meet with clients in our Lexington office and via Telehealth for psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management. We also offer extended late afternoon and evening appointments three days a week to accommodate clients’ work and school schedules.
What We Provide
Our skilled and professional master’s level therapists and case managers are trained to treat children, adolescents and adults with interventions targeted at their specific needs. At the start of treatment, a clinician will contact the patient (and caregivers if the patient is a minor) to do a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation in order to develop a detailed plan alongside the patient based on the patient’s individual needs. KVC professional staff are trained in a number of industry leading evidence-based practices which will structure the individualized approach given to each patient. Here is a short list of evidence-based practices utilized daily at KVC:
- Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT)
- Motivational Interviewing (MI)
- Child – Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE Skills)
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
- Nurturing Parenting Program
- Trauma Systems Therapy (TST)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
How Does it Work?
KVC uses a service team approach with each patient to develop a collaborative care plan, which is designed to help children live successfully at home and in the community and to help adults leverage their support system as much as possible. Team members meet regularly or as frequently as needed to assess progress, develop goals and interventions and put crucial support systems in place.
Our dedicated staff work from nine locations across Central, Eastern, Northeastern and Northern Kentucky to help strengthen the lives of individuals and families each day, and have the capacity to meet with individuals virtually. Please contact our office for service availability.
